Details

BDUK is committed to evaluating its programmes and has commissioned several rounds of evaluation. Ipsos UK were commissioned in 2021 to undertake an evaluation of the Superfast Broadband Programme. The final round of evaluation focussed on Phase 3 of delivery of the Superfast Broadband Programme.

Evaluation of the Superfast Programme’s benefits and impacts seeks to answer five key questions:

  1. What are the outcomes of the programme? 
  2. How has the behaviour of individuals/organisations changed for these outcomes to come about? 
  3. How effective and efficient has the delivery of the programme been?
  4. Was the investment cost effective? 
  5. What can we learn to improve future policy design and implementation?
